Notes (3)
- 1Likewise or similarly in other lexica: references at Photius nu228 Theodoridis, where however this impersonal verb is spelled not
ni/fei butnei/fei (cf. nu 294); taken to be quoted from Aristophanes, Acharnians 1141. ↩ - 2Homer, Iliad 3.222 (web address 1). Adler footnotes Bernhardy's observation that this pertains to nu 437, q.v. ↩
- 3nu 294. There are instances of this participle in (e.g.) Plutarch's Lives. ↩
